What it is	Financial Mathematics and Economics is a mathematics-based degree that combines the study of economic systems and financial markets with advanced math and statistics. Unlike a pure economics or pure mathematics program, it trains you to use mathematical models and analysis to solve real-world problems in finance and economics. It suits students who want rigorous quantitative training and are interested in how money, markets, and economies actually work.	This is a degree in psychology — the study of human behaviour, thinking, and mental health — with mandatory work placements built into your studies. You'll alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid terms working in psychology-related settings like clinics, schools, or social agencies, giving you real experience before you graduate. It suits people interested in understanding why people act and think the way they do, and who want to test that interest through actual work before committing to a psychology career.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
